Pina is an essay on the life and work of renowned choreographer Pina
Bausch. Pina appears in some archival footage, and several members of
her dance troupe testify to her ingenuity and artistic inspiration. The
spirit of Pina, however, lives on in her dances: the film offers four of
Bausch’s famed dances in their entirety, but dispersed and intercut
throughout the film. The opening dance, The Rite of Spring, is a
mesmerizing and penetrating ballet through a field of earth. The film’s
hindrance may be that the first number is the strongest, but all four
dances are sharp and provocative, and they alternate between soundstages
and exterior settings.Aside from moving the dances outdoors,
Wenders transcends the theatrical boundaries of Pina’s stage and offers a
wholly cinematic rendering of her dances by shooting them in marvelous
3D.
